No control and lots of speed? Defender might be good. If your reflexes are good what about Goalie? It is ultimately the coaches decision. However, I used to be a forward (11 years ago), I had no ball control but I was/am quick. Coach decided to switch positions one day, and put me back in defense. I played well, and I've been there since. I would say try and play all positions and pick the one you feel most comfortable at and show talent in. As for the ball control issues, juggle a size 1 ball... A LOT! It will help.

those are two very important qualities that are very critical to one another, so it is hard to say. for like a wing position or an attacking position, you're going to need to be quick as well as a good ball handler, as first touch and dribbling, etc are important factors for those positions. so maybe you could try a defending position? i think that with the qualities you have, a bit of quickness mixed with a bit of ball control would do good for that position.

Can you kick a ball well?
Do you have height?
Ball skills is something you can work on. If you can't strike the ball or play long passes, its best you play in the backline. Either at fullback, or central defence if you have height.
If you've good reflexes and hand to eye coordination, you could play in goal.
Just try to get in first, your coach will play you wherever he/she feels is suitable.

defense. all you need to do is stop the one who has the ball from going any further. your speed should suit you well for that.
